If you are in a position which is supporting a fixed term contract that the client has with another company is this good for your IR35 status

Why do you think it relevant? It's how you deliver that support that counts.

FFS, thirteen years of IR35 and people still don't understand what it is.

I was thinking along the lines of it would put you outside IR35 because although you are doing an ongoing support role which would place you inside IR35, the fixed duration of the clients contract with the customers would hopefully place you outside IR35. I don't really see the relevance of how long IR35 has been around, I've not been contracting that long and it still seems to be quite difficult to determine if you are inside or outside.

Just tell him you need your contract money for school fees, your gambling addiction and crack whores. They'll understand and give you a 6 month extension.

Tosh... As you said yourself it is difficult to work out if you are absolutely in or out so why the simplistic comment that a fixed duration contract is enough to place you outside?

There are many pointers to being in or out and all need looking at carefully and getting a specialist to help. Most importantly is how the client treats you and working conditions. Just because it is fixed term it doesn't mean the client treats you and makes you act like a permie.
